I just saw this commercial on TV that I coulnd’t believe what I heard. It was one of those “What did she say??” kind of moments.It was a typical pharmaceutical commercial, with the cute cartoon animation. The product isĀ Mirapex. It is for restless leg syndrome, which I’m sure is a terrible thing, but it seems funny to me. You know how they talk quickly through the side effects? I swear they said one of the side effects is increased gambling. I looked at their website. Yep. It says may cause problems with gambling, compulsive eating, and increased sex drive. What the hell?!?! Now there is a pill that makes you gamble? Watch your drinks at the casino. And since when is increased sex drive a problem? Don’t they sell all kinds of things for just that purpose? I’m confused. And a little restless. Hmmm.http://www.mirapex.com
